'''First Republic (1804-1814):''' The First Republic was a defining era in Pelaxian history, marked by the overthrow of the Girojón monarchy and the establishment of a triumvirate governance structure. This period emerged from a culmination of societal discontent and revolutionary fervor against perceived autocracy and economic disparities under the Girojón dynasty. The monarchy was toppled in a coordinated 1804 coup led by military figures and civic republican intellectuals. This marked a radical shift in Pelaxia's political landscape. The triumvirate that ensued featured key figures representing distinct ideologies. Collectively, the triumvirs enacted broad changes. They established a new constitution enshrining civil liberties and representative governance, while fostering an educated populace. Economic policies prioritized land reform, trade, and infrastructure. However, internal divisions and external pressures challenged the triumvirate's unity. By 1814, these factors, along with regional conflicts and economic hardships, led to the triumvirate's dissolution. This marked the end of the First Republic era and paved the way for the Girojón Restoration. | '''First Republic (1804-1814):''' The First Republic was a defining era in Pelaxian history, marked by the overthrow of the Girojón monarchy and the establishment of a triumvirate governance structure.

Girojón Restoration (1814 - 1852): The fall of the Triumvirate in 1814 and the subsequent restoration of the monarchy under the Girojón dynasty with King Fernando I was primarily driven by a combination of internal political tensions and external pressures. The period of the Triumvirate had witnessed notable achievements in terms of republican ideals, reforms, and social progress. However, a growing faction within the aristocracy and military felt that the republican governance structure was impeding effective decision-making and stability, particularly in times of external threats as many republicanist factions had started to creat independent Revolutionary Juntas that did not recognize the authority of the Triumvir. The military elite believed that the monarchy, which had previously provided a sense of continuity and centralized authority, could better ensure national security and unity. The faction advocating for the monarchy's restoration argued that the existence of a single, hereditary head of state would streamline decision-making and enhance Pelaxia's standing in diplomatic circles, allowing for more decisive responses to external challenges. Additionally, some members of the aristocracy saw the monarchy as a means to safeguard their social and economic privileges, which they believed were under threat due to the republican system's emphasis on social equality. | '''Girojón Restoration (1814 - 1852):''' The fall of the Triumvirate in 1814 and the subsequent restoration of the monarchy under the Girojón dynasty with King Fernando I was primarily driven by a combination of internal political tensions and external pressures.

'''Second Pelaxian Republic (1852 - 1876):''' The Pelaxian Republic emerged following King Luciano II's deposition in 1852 due to his absolutist tendencies and resistance to the republican-minded 1846 Law of Lords. Luciano II's refusal to appoint recommended lords led to a military uprising led by General Solorio Torres. The republic abolished noble titles, dissolved the House of Lords, and enabled local election of provincial governors, strengthening the republic's foundation. | '''Second Pelaxian Republic (1852 - 1876):''' The Pelaxian Republic emerged following King Luciano II's deposition in 1852 due to his absolutist tendencies and resistance to the republican-minded 1846 Law of Lords.
